Back Issues of Magazines Needed By School Library The high school library this week became the proud possessor of the "Abridged. Reader's Guide," which indexes many magazines published from 1944 to date. Since organiza- tion of the library doesn't date back to 1944, back files of some magazines are needed. t No doubt many readers of The Star have stacks of magazines they threaten to discard. If such be the case of any on the following list, 'they are asked to contact Miss Marjorie philyaw, school librarian, first. Just this week Miss Nor- ton's civics class needed many magazine references that the. pres- ent incomplete files could not pro- vide, and magazine articles give much up-to-diate information not yet printed in book form. Some of the following magazine issued are needed from July 1944 to date: American Magazine, Atlantic Monthly. America, Better Homes ind Gardens, Current History, Fly- ing, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Magazine (July 1944 to September 1945). Hygeia, Life (July 1944 to September 1945), National Geo- graphic (July 1944 to Sept. 1945), Nature (July 1944 to Sept. 1945), New York Times Magazine (July 1944 to Oct. 1945), Popular Science (July 1944 to Oct. 1945), Popular SMechanics (July 1944 to Oct. 1945), Readers Digest (July 1944 to Oct. 11945), Science News Letter, Time (July 1944 to Oct. 1945).

Bob Sikes stated upon his return to the district last week. Sikes, who recently returned from a 40,000-mile,, .six-week tour of the Far East, went as a member of the subcommittee of the house military affairs committee to investigate conditions in American occupied foreign countries. "It's time we learned to sell America psychologically, and stop giving it away without knowing what we are getting in return," he said. in speaking of our diplomatic relations, with other nations. "The committee was charged with a threefold responsibility," Sikes said. "First to study military installations; second, 1 to observe morale and condition of our troops, and third, to report on disposition of suiplus property." Sikes charged that the Pacific bases haven't kept pace with the times, that the occupation forces are staffed with inxeperienced men and:" that disposition of surplus property is bogged down with red tape and inefficient personnel. H-e claimed morale was bad in som, occupied, spots, but on the whole was in good condition. He lashed out at diplomatic short-comings, charging the diffI- culties lay in too much dependence on dollar diplomacy and not enough on ability to sell Americanism. He warned that World War II1, whi-'h could be averted, woulI conime from the confuse .d power pol- itics' of China, Korea and Japan. "In these areas, China, Korea and Japan, lie the ultimate answer to war or lasting peace in the Pa- cific. Under the leadership of the United States, diplomatic conversa- tions with Russia looking to settle- ment of the confused power poll- ties there can, if proper co-opera- tion is received; settle the cause of world .peace for years to come," Sikes said. "America needs a more realistic appreciation of true world cond'- tions. It's time we learned to see America psychologically, and sLto giving it away without known. what we are getting in return,' Sikes concluded.

Governor To Spark 'Keep Florida Green' Movement Governor Millard Caldwell will "spark", the "Keep Florida Green" movement at Tallahassee on Octo- ber 30, in a statewide effort de- signed mainly to prevent the de- struction 'by Fire of Florida's for- ests'. Fifteen thousand, forest fires, most of which were deliberately set, were recorded in Florida last year. The conference will be attended by representatives of several hun- dred' statewide groups, all inter- ested in the- conservation of the state's' timber, and the forestry di- vision of the Florida State Cham- ber of Commerce has determined, "to come to grips at once" wits timberland arsonsists, pointing out that the remedy lies more in the field of education than it does in the realm of law enforcement. The state chamber hopes to im- press upon the people of the state the urgent need of forest preserva- tion and prove to them that setting fires is criminally wasteful and serves no economic purpose what- soever.

With their house numbering project already well under way, we're anxious to see the newly-forme(d Port St. Joe Junior Chamber of Commerce get busy on the second main proj- ect they have lined up-that of having Port St. Joe designated as the deep water terminal of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee waterway project. In our opinion, Port St. Joe is the logical deep water outlet for this project, since we have one of the finest natural harbors on the Gulf, have our own private canal connecting with the intracoastall waterway, and have un- excelled dock facilities. Panama City and Apalachicola already' are pulling strings and putting on the pressure in efforts to be designated as the terminal. But we have other advantages than those stated above. Shippers would have about 30 addi- tional miles to haul their goods if Panama City ,were designated, and Apalachicola Bay does not have' sufficient depth to allow large ves- sels to come in, and should, a channel be dredged there it would soon fill up with sedi- ment from the Apalachicola River, necessitat- ing continual costly dredging. We believe the entire community will, get behind the Jaycees on this project, as it will mean an enormous flow of raw and manufac- tured products through our port with neces- sarily increased activity that will benefit every resident of this area.

Common sense (an.beat inflation. and to- day, more than ever, each of us here in Port St. Joe has to do his' or her part. During the war the people of St. Joe, in overwhelming majority, knew it was good common sense to set aside part of their big. wartime ear-nings for the future. We bought War Bonds to the limit, going over the top in every bond drive. We put money in savings ac- counts, as S. L. Barke of the Florida Bank can testify, and we paid off debts. ilany predicted that after the war we would all go on a spending spree. Some of us have, but the majority have used good sense in handling their money. Today it is more important than ever that we continue to use our money wisely-refrain from bidding up prices, buy only what is needed until goods are plentiful again, hold on to oui- HWar Bonds, continue to put aside for the fam- ily's future in government savings bonds, in- surance and savings accounts, for in just a few e years these "easy" dollars we are making to- f day.will be worth two or three times what they are now--in purchasing value. No thinking man or woman in, Port St. Joe I wants inflation. Through the exercise of good common sense -the people here, and in every Port St. Joe all over the nation, can check the J forces of inflation. -. , FEC FOR FLORIDA ' Senator Claude Pepper still goes blissfully along trying to put control of the Florida East Coast Railway where he thinks it ought to go to serve his political interests, regardless of where the people of Florida want it to go to serve the interest of the whole state. His "exceptions" to the findings of the interstate commerce commissioner, who had recom- mended award of the line's control to the du- Pont group, read more like an election cam- paign document than a reasoned brief on a matter affecting the economic lives of his constituents. Those constituents have shown, over- whelmingly and repeatedly, that they want control of the FEC to remain in Florida, and that they want the road to remain indepen- dent of other railroad systems. Senator Pep- per, who is a vaunted foe of monopoly, wants control of the FEC to go to another railroad, thus eliminating a vast area of competition on rates and service. He is out to get a political scalp, and the well-known public can be the well-known profanity.' - The ICC can't by antly stretch of the imagi- nation fall for a line like Pepper's.

During the war you heard a lot about how hard it was going to be for returning veterans to get ad- justed to civilian life how they'd be "different." Well, plenty of them have re- turned to our town, and a finer, steadier bunch you couldn't ask for. Most of them are back at the same jobs going with the same nice home-town girls (get- ting married, some of them; and setting up families) renewing the same old friendships. Even their amusements are the same. Nothing more exciting than fishing Seward's creek or pitch- ing horseshoes enjoying an outdoor barbecue with friendly wholesome beer and pleasant talk. If they've changed at all it's in the direction of. maturity and tol- erance... tolerance for everything except dictators, and those who would destroy our democratic principles of live and let live. And from where I sit, that's another reason to be proud of them. .69)e *44<1 "Boy, just think what he'd bring on the black market!"

Death Claims State Comptroller Jim Lee ,James Martin Lee, 65, who for the past 12 years has held. Florida's purse strings as state comptroller, died unexpectedly Sunday afteir- noon at his home in Tallahassee after a heart attack. His death ended a colorful po- litical career which took him from Highlands county attorney, state legislator and comptroller into tht very center of nearly every state financial controversy in the ,past two decades. He is survived by his widow, M'rs, Alice Clements Lee; one son, James M. Lee Jr., of Tallahassee, and three daughters, Mrs. Ronald Brough of Port St. Joe, Mrs. Arch Livingston of Tallahassee, and Mrs. W. A. Maddox of Lakeland. Secretary of State R. A: Gray said Lee's death, coming within 45 days of the November 5 general election leaves nomination of can- didates for his unexpired term up to state executive committees o, the political parties. A supreme court decision autho- izing Governor Caldwell to name the successor to Senator Andrews does not apply, since Andrews died 48 days 'before the election. State law provides for party executive committee nominations if the of- fice holder dies within 4.5 days of the general election. J., Newt Lummus, Jr., tax asses- sor of Dade county, said Sund'ay he would be a candidate, to succeed Lee, as he had "planned to be a candidate for the last six or seven years."
